Strong disagree. I play a lot of casual CS, and the number of extremely poor / new / young players using rudimentary cheats and performing far below average is huge. Most players don't watchfully spectate the bottom fraggers in the lobby, but if you do, the number of them brazenly using wallhacks is quite high.

These players aren't using aimbot / triggerbot (or if they are, they don't understand the gunplay and try to shoot while running), and may not even understand wall penetration, so their reaction times wouldn't look abnormal at all. From the data, they would likely have below average reaction times still.

Even though they are not performing well, their presence still massively alters the gameplay for legitimate players. For one, lurking becomes a pointless endeavor. You're better off rushing wildly than attempting any sort of stealth.
